The Huntingdon Journal. farm aio Noustijoltr. Hog Cholera in Bedford County. AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DISEASE BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE-A DISCUS SION OF THE DISEASE AND TREATMENT, WHICH EVERY FARMER SHOULD READ AND PUT IN PRACTICE. Every now and then we have a run of cholera or long fever among the hogs, and it generally comes about "fattening" or killing time. The disease is always epidem ic, and jumps from sty to sty, from farm to farm, from township to township, sweep ing his hogahip right and left regardless of size, age, weight or breed. And there is no cure. Who ever heard of a sick hog recovering from any disease. No sir he is "too big a hog" to live, or soon will be. In Snake Springs and Cumberland Valley the cholera has been particularly:prevalent and many farmers have lost every hog they had. At the solicitation of Mr. !I. C. Lutz and others interested, Charles B Michener, D. V. S., Veterinary Surgeon to the Pennsylvania State board of Agri culture visited the infected district in this county the other day and writes us a very intelligent letter on his investigations and offers some practical ideas and suggestions which we hope will be appreciated and taken advantage of by our agricultural friends. From our friend H. Clay Lutz of Snake Springs twp., we learn that the disease has only been troublesome in this county for about three years and that its ravages have been confined chiefly to that territory east of Bedford, but that it is gradually work ing westward and will sweep everything before it unless intercepted by preventives and strict care and attention. So far as can be ascertained the Cholera first de veloped in Cumberland Valley township and worked eastward to Friends Cove, Black Valley and Clear Ridge. Then it swung around to Snake Springs township scattering itself in Everett on its way. Dr. Michener and Mr. Lutz held seven post mortem, examinations, three at the farm of John G. Hartley Esq., one at Mr. Adam Shaffer's, one at Mr. Sol. F. Diehl's and one at Mr. George Wakefoos'. They were all dead subjects. Mr. Edwin Hartly kill ed a diseased hog for dissection when the gentleman arrived at his place. The re suit of the examinations will be found in the foregoing letter of Dr. Michener. Mr Edwin Hartley has lost by cholera 21 head of hogs this season. Mr. Daniel R. Snyder has lost his whole drove but a single one. Mr. Michael Wareham has lost 17 head and thus we might enumerate in every infected district. We would observe at this point, that the authorized reporters of Bedford county who regulary correspond with the State Agricultural De partment„ are Mr. W. Sparks, Everett, Pa., Mr. J. Sill, Stuckeyville and Mr. 11. Clay Lutz, Bedford. If any new disease should develop itself' among your hogs, horses, sheep, cattle chickens or other fowl, write to either one of these gentlemen giving all the symp toms and they will report to the Depart ment, when a diagnosis will be made and the best remedies prescribed free of charge. CABVEZETVILLE, PA., Nov.l2th 1878. Editors istituirer.—My recent investigation of Hog Cholera in Bedford county induces me to forward to your columns a few prat deal remarks concerning the cause, mode of propagation and treatment of this dis ease, and by so doing place those who are suffering from its ravages in Possession of well ascertained facts, which will, I trust very materially change the course adopted by a few at least, in treating this malady. The entire history, taken with the post mortem appearances , plainly indicates that Hog Cholera is a blood disease, which owes its origin to an atmospheric poison and which poison shows its local effects, in in tensity and oonstanoy upon Ist the bowels and 2nd upon the lungs. The term "Hog Cholera" is a misnomer, but this appellation has beeu so generally accepted, and to the casual observer con veys a sufficiently intelligent idea of the disease, that is not likely ever to be re placed by a name more in accordance with the true pathological conditions, i. e., Con tagions pneumoenteritis. This disease does not depend upon the particular kind or quantity of food consumed, upon the char acter or nature of the soil, nor any peculi arities of breeding. Certain foods may operai.e, from the extreme sensibility of the bowels, to render the attacks more violent and fatal; but these consequences should never be confounded with this special virus which is per se, in every instance the cause of Hog Cholera. The MST thing to be appreciated by those who suffer by this malady is the fact that it is an infectious disease, due to a specific poison which is transmitted from place to place and from herd to herd through the media of the atmosphere ; by the clothes and implements employed by wan ; in the hair of dogs that have eaten carcasses which were affected with cholera; in the plumage of birds (buzzards and ravens) and frequently by streams of water into which infected hogs have dropped their faeces. Allowing the sick to herd with the healthy is of course a fertile source of the contagion. It is estimated that the germs of this poison can be trans • mitted from the emanation arising from an unburied carcass, through the atmosphere, and cause contagion at from one half to one mile. Knowing then the character of the disease and its mode of propagation what are the indications for treatment-both preventative and curative ? The answer is so pertinent that it seems like a waste of words to remark that legis lation is necessary to induce men to con form these "indications." Yet such is the case. As the disease is now treated the sick are, in most instances allo . wed to run with the well; they eat from the same trough, they occupy the same litter; they breathe the same air. The emanations from the feces of the sick (probably the most fertile sources of the contagion) are breathed in daily by the healthy ; the car• case of those which have succumbed to this affection are dragged out and left to lie on tap of ground and often on high points of laud where the wind has every possible chance to d;s4,,minate these poisonons germs. As a rule no•disinfectants are used. S.) lung as this treatment is pursued Hog Cholera will exist and spread. As soon as one death has chronicled the existence of this disease in a herd there should be a vigilant watch kept on all the rest. The pens should be at once thoroughly cleansed by whitewashing the sides, scrubbing the floors and applying crude Carbolic Acid or Chloride of Lime on the trough, floor and manure pit. A bade of Carbolic Acid, with the cork removed, should be hung up in the pen. If any new cases develop, re move immediately to as a great a distance as possible from the well, and place the sick in charge of a person who is not to have, on any consideration, access to the healthy. BURY or BURN all dead bodies without delay. Use disinfectants freely in and about the pens of the sick. A vast num ber of "Cures (?) have been heralded, but I believe them generally to possess very little or no virtues. Sulphur, Antimony, Copperas, &c., &c., have been used and while tonics like Sulphate Iron may forti• fy the system to a certain extent against the disease, they can have little to do cradicaLing the Chau., is au excellent remedy to feed the hogs in an infected district, for while it possesses the virtues of a disinfectant to a high degree it is a substance which hogs will very readily eat. Absolute isolation of the sick _thorough disinfection and a proper and intmediate disposal of all dead bodies are the sine gala nous toward breaking up and exterminating this disease. If these measures will not be followed without legislation, then pass laws and appoint competent men to enforce them and reasonably hope for a suppression, to a great extent, of this scourge. So far as a curative treatment is concerned it seems to me to be impracticable to carry it out, unless indeed we had a Spectfic. All that need to be done is, I think, to isolate the sick in well ventilated, well littered and thoroughly disinfected stables. If the bowels are costive to give a purga tive; if a persistent diarrhoea exists to give an astringent; to keep befbre them a charred log; to give them lime water with their milk and to meet special develop ments as they arise. A course of vegeta ble and mineral tonics will be found ad vantageous during convalescence. Health is so slow in being resumed, in most instances, that it is a question to be decid ed whether there is not more economy in killing the sick as soon as the symptoms are well marked, than in treating them through a convalescence which sometimes extends to months. The Government must appreciate the necessity of these preventi tive means and grant sufficient appropria tions to effectually carry them out before much good can result and these enzootics and epizootics be held in check. I wish to ackowledge the hearty assistance render ed me by W. Clay Lutz during the time spent in investigating this disease in Bed ford county. CHARLES B. MICHENER, D. V. S. Veterinary Surgeon to Penna.. State Board of Agriculture. Carversville, Pa., Nov. 12th 1878. Boys on the Farm. It is a proud day when the average boy gets on his first pair of boots and trudges to school by the side of an older sister. He does not care any longer to take her hand. The leading strings are out. But this early ambition to be a man is entirely eclipsed, when he has taken charge of his first pair of steers, and started for the fair. Has he not raised them, broken them to the yoke, taught them to pull and to back, to haw and to gee ? They are evidence of his skill in subduing brute muscle. He is going up to the exhibition to display the fruits of his triumph, aud, as he hopes, to wear the laurels of victory. He is no longer merely a spectator, but an exhibitor, an entertainer of spectators.—There is a difference of native tastes in boys. Some have a natural aptitude to one calling and some to another, but most men have their callings determined by early circumstances, sometimes by incidents so trivial that they have hardly a place in memory. It is not difficult generally for a father, who loves the farm, to determine the calling of his children. If he makes it a business of thrift, and provides comfortably for his family, they will respect the calling. If he is discouraged and continually shifting his work, or his home, they will not be very likely to make tillers of the soil. One can hardly begin too early with his boys to incline them to the calling that is to give them bread, and the means of their future usefulness. If the boy is to be a farmer, he must begin to have a personal interest and venture in farming while he is yet a boy. Filial affection, in a happy home, is a very strong motive to industry and fideli ty, but it does not shape a boy's plans for life like an investment of his own brains and muscles in his daily work. He should have crops and animals, not only that he can 'call' his own, but that are his own, to keep, to enjoy, and to sell for his own pleasure and profit . . The trusts may be small at first, but they should be absolute, and let him have his own experience of success and failure in managing them. Let him manage poultry, a lamb, a calf, or a colt, and exhibit his own stock at tl e fairs. We notice with great satisfaction the increasing attention paid to the boys at the fall fairs. Boys did some of the best work at a recent plowing match at one of our fairs. One, a boy of fourteen, held the plow and drove his own team, and made as good a seed bed as his older competitors. These premiums for boy's work, are in the right direction ; let them be noted in making up the list for next year.—American Agriculturist for Decent ter. Catarrh in Sheep Sheep run at the nose sometimes because of cold, but often it is chronic catarrh, and is not easily cured. If they are made to inhale the steam from hot vinegar or a decoction of hops they will throw out a great deal of mucus which will be loosened by inhalation. The steam may be made by dropping a live coal into a vessel con taining the liquid, or by Anserting a hot iron. After the mucus has been dis charged, smear the nostrils with pine tar. Scotch snuff, dropped in the nostrils, will cause the sheep to throw out the mucus, but this remedy is not so effective as steam ing. A hood may be put on the head of the sheep to prevent the steam from es caping, and the head of the animal must be held directly over the vessel. Sheep affected with catarrh should not be expos ed to cold storms or cold winds, as either will increase the malady. Foul Stomachs. Stock of every description, from over feeding, from want of change of food, and from scanty feed get out of order, and the condition J f the stomach is the first visible symptom. Charcoal is a corrector of all such incipient signs of disease, but in its usual state it is also the least palatable articlo that can be given to animals. In the Northwest, where corn is so cheap as to be freely used, we have charcoal in a very palatable form. All kinds of farm animals eat it readily, and given once a week it maintains a sweetness of the stomach of a most beneficial character Those who burn corn always have a full supply of part-burned grains of corn in the ashes, which they use as a corrective; but in the East, where corn is too costly for fuel, it will still pay to burn sufficient at times to be used as a corrective. Poul try and hogs eat it to the last morsel and thrive well on it. A VERY fair oak stain may be produced by equal parts of potash and pearlash, say two ounces of each to about a gum t of water. Keep it corked up in a bottle, and it is always ready for use ; if it strikes too deep a color, add more water. A Reliable Life Insurauce Policy.

Mr. AI b,tCrooker : the wrli-known druggist and apoth• - - . ,ftry, of Springvale, Mc., way; advi.ei every one trou led with Rheumatism to try Vegetine. READ HIS STATEMENT : SPILINGVALE, ME., Oct., 12, 1876. Mr. H. R. Stevens:—Dear Sir—Fifteen years ago last fall I was taken sick with rheumatism, was unable to move until the next April. From that time until three years ago this fall I suffered everything with rheumatism. Some times there would be weeks at a time that I couldn't step one step ; these attacks were quite often. I antlered every thing that a man could. Over three years ago last spring I commenced taking Vegetine, and followed it up until I kad taken 7 bottles; have had no rheumatism since that time. I always advise every one that is troubled with rheumatism to try Yegetine, and not suffer fur years as I have done. This statement is gratuitous as far as Mr. Ste vens is concerned. Yours, etc. ALBERT CROOKER, Firm of A. Crouker & Co , Druggists dt Apothecaries. VEGE TINE HAS ENTIRELY CURED ME Bosrotet, Oct., 12, 1870. Mr. 11. It. Stevens—Dear Sir:—My daughter, after hav ing a severe-attack of Looping Cough, was left in a fee— ble state of health. Being advi.•ed by a friend she tried Vegetine, and after using a few bottles was fully restored to health. I have been a great sufferer from rheumatism. I have taken several bottles of Vegetine fur this complaint, and am happy to say it has entirely cured me. I have recom mended Vegetine to others with the same good results. It is a great cleans, and purifier of the blood ; it is pleasant to take and I can cheerfully recommend it. JAS. MORSE, abt Athens street. RIIEUMA.TISM IS A DISEASE OF THE BLOOD. The blood in this disease, is found to contain an excess of fibrin. Vegetine acts by converting the blood from its diseased condition to a healthy circulation. Vegetine reg ulates the bowels which is very important in this com plaint. One bottle of Vegetine will give relief; but, to ef fect a permanent cure, it must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long stand ing. Vegetine is sold by all druggists. Try it, and your verdict will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say, "I never found so much relief as from the use of Vegetiue," which is composed exclusively of Barks, Roots and Herbs. "Yegetine" says a Boston physician, "has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed, I visited the labratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and they are compounded in such a maul eras to produce astonishing results. VEGETINE• NOTIIING EQUAL TO IT. SOUTH SAEFIM, Mass., Nov. 14, 1576. MR. H. R. STEVENS. Dear Sir.—l have been troubled with Scrofula, Canker and Liver Complaint for three years. Nothing did me any good until I commenced using the Vegetine. lam now getting slung first-rate, and still using the Vegeta.. I consider there is nothing equal to it for such complaints. Can heartily recommend it to everybody. Yours truly. Mits. LIZZIE M. PACKARD No. 16 Lagrange Street, South Salem, Mass. VEGETINE Prepared by H.R. STEVENS, Boston, Mass.
